sible for a greater amount than the price paid. It is understood all orders accepted by us must be upon this con¬ 
dition. 
The successful growth of a tree is dependent upon so many conditions over which the nurseryman has no 
control, viz., the planting, the cultivation and maintenance, the weather, the fertility of the soil, the rainfall, 
etc., that we do not guarantee the life of our stock except upon the payment of advanced charges. 
Claims for shortage, poor arrival of shipments and others of whatever nature must be presented within 
ten days after the arrival of the consignment. 
SHIFFIHG- DIRECTIONS. —Give plain and explicit directions for shipping; if by freight give route. When 
no directions are given we shall use our best judgrment in forwarding, but in all cases our responsibility as to 
delivery of shipment ceases when receipt is taken from the transportation company. 
SHIPPING- SEASON. —We usually begin to make shipments about the middle of October, or as soon after 
as the plants are sufficiently dormant to dig with safety, and continue until the middle of April, or until 
growth begins.

every shipment, certifying to freedom from insects and diseases.

Richmond, on the Southern Railway, and on Midlothian Turnpike. We ship by freight or express from Mid¬
